It’s truly a beautiful day in the neighborhood. I’ve been out and about today, and so have others. Driving down the road in Lexington is an event. These two were in a field with their moms, enjoying the fresh air and sunshine…and the company of their best friends. To the right of the pasture there [...]
Allow me to present an ethics dilema. There’s money out there for the taking! Grant money! The government is giving it away, so you’d be foolish not to take it. After all, somebody will. They’ll go out, apply for those grants, buy property, “employ people to fix up that property” and then sell that property to [...]
I’m turning this blog post over to Maj. L. Caudill USMC (Ret) because I believe our country is in a dark place right now, and it’s important to let people know what’s important about the Second Amendment. Don’t miss his post. It explains things perfectly. The Gun is Civilization, By Maj. L. Caudill USMC (Ret) [...]
Here in Lexington we have a Starbucks where the management has thoughtfully planted Blackeyed Susans for those of us who use the drive-thru. I don’t know if they realized that their flowers would be only part of the show for us. If I hadn’t looked down at the beautiful flowers at the drive-thru…If the flowers hadn’t been found [...]
Well, now I’ve done it. Finally I convinced my husband that we needed some chickens. I’ve always loved watching chickens scratch in the dirt. They make me think of growing up on the farm. I took so much for granted back then. So, now we have eight little pullets. Or seven pullets and a rooster…it’s a little early [...]
Last weekend I attended a party. This was probably the first party I’ve shown up for in at least 10 years. I’m known as a dud. An international party pooper. But, last weekend, not far from the old high school, I finally enjoyed a party. Our class of ’73 had an “unofficial” reunion, a “double nickle” [...]
Many of my Feng Shui clients are in distress. I get called when they figure out that their house could be the source of their troubles. So, one of the most important things I can do as a Feng Shui Master is to help people find out if the house really is causing problems. This can be [...]
We say horses who are nervous or jumpy are “spooked”. Well, those horses are literally being bothered by “spooks” in one form or another and I’ve had great success getting rid of them. One horse was impossible to ride, another just difficult. One “spooked” at one spot in the pasture, while another showed extreme animosity toward his farrier. All [...]
What is it about water that keeps us going back? It’s not just the necessity of it for our bodies, of course we need water to live. But, what is it that draws people to live on the edge of water? It’s not so much the life on it, but the life in it. Water [...]
There is a tradition among many native Americans that everyone has a power animal, or totem. These animals are there to guide us and warn us of problems in the road ahead. I always wondered what mine was, if indeed I had been assigned one by the powers that be. So, not terribly long ago I [...]
